As some of you know, I'm transfering next semester to either KU or Northwest Missouri State.

I'm making up my mind by the end of this weekend.

Where should I go?

I've been to Lawrence many times, I have friends that go there and my ex goes there, we are pretty good friends still, though. They all highly recommend it. I took a visit to the university itself last March, and loved it. I think I would have a great time there. I'm majoring in sports communications, as some of you know.

I haven't taken a visit to NW yet, but I've been to Maryville...very boring up there. They have nice facilities, from the looks of them and from what friends have told me, but the small town-nothing to do-atmosphere is kind of a turn off. Also, KU has hotter chicks...but I shouldn't let that be a decision make or breaker. hehe, or not.

Good Lord, I can't believe I'm saying this, but if Sports Comm is your thing, you need to go to KU. I've heard nothing but good things about that department.

I now must go vomit.

I'm betraying my homestate if I go there.

If you aren't Greek, then go to KU, there will be a better chance to meet other people and you will have more fun.

I went to Northwest all four years (okay, four and a half) of school, and I loved it there. I rushed my first semester up there, and I had an awesome time and became friends with all the other Greeks up there, not just guys in my fraternity. The small town can work with you or against you; if you have a big group of people you are friends with, it is cool seeing everyone on campus, in classes, at parties, and at the bars. However, if you don't have a large pool of friends or acquaintances, you might not have as good of a time when you see the same people all the time.

That's just my opinion, other people may feel differently about the town and/or the school. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Yeah, I'm not really a small town type of person, but I've rarely came across someone that didn't like me. Meeting people and friends, aren't problems. I just want the best education; the best school for my sports communications major.

I see it's 5-3 so far, in favor of KU.

Why, though?

Give it to a brotha, straight, fo real.

Are you serious about choosing between these two? Seriously? Let's see now, should I take this Mercedes or the go-cart? Tough one!

Hmm....interesting analogy.....

For some reason i've never considered KU the Mercedes of universities.

I'd go to KU because its a bigger university, and having KU on your diploma looks better than NWMSU.

7-4 KU.

Who are the 4 picking NW, and why?

I know it would be cheaper there, but for the quality, it would make more sense to go to KU, right?

Well, sometimes it's not all bad to go to a smaller school if you want to learn something. I think so anyway, less competition and more likely to get professors that actually care about you more than just being a name in a gradebook. At least if that smaller school has a good program in what you want to learn. Just like anything else, it helps to know where the good spots to go are. I don't know that much about NW so I abstained from voting.

I've thought about the more attention thing and a smaller school being better because the professors care more. I figure that won't matter if I get to know my professors right off the bat, and it's not a guarantee that just because it's a smaller school your professors will care more. Still undecided at this point. Will choose by Sunday night.

Northwest Mizzou was ranked in Playboy as one of the easiest schools to get laid at. Of course, they didn't exactly mention what quality the layees are, but.......

And come on! Boerigter's dad is AD up there, or something......

(I'd go to KU....)

Sports communication. It seems like most of the ESPN crew are UCONN grads.

I'm still kind of undecided.

It would be cheaper and easier at NW, and I would get done sooner there. Should that be apart of my decision?

You know what sucks about going to KU for communications...you have to take a foreign language. It requires completion of a 4th semester level in a foreign language. For those who can't count...I'll have to take 4 SEMESTERS OF SPANISH!!! WTF? I'm not going to be on espn deportes'.

For NW, I don't have to have spanish, economics, statistics. For KU, I do.
